2012 NFC draft grades: Defensive-minded Eagles, Packers earn high marks - Yahoo! Sports
San Francisco 49ers
Picks: WR A.J. Jenkins, RB LaMichael James, G Joe Looney, OLB Darius Fleming, FS Trenton Robinson, OT Jason Slowey, DE Cam Johnson
Grade: B
Analysis: It's easy to sit back and question what the 49ers were doing in taking Jenkins and James. Jenkins was a stretch in the first round and particularly so after the team signed Randy Moss and Mario Manningham in the offseason. As for James, the 49ers already have speed back Kendall Hunter on the roster. Still, you have to admire the thinking by coach Jim Harbaugh. Instead of standing pat on offense after a few free-agent signings, Harbaugh continued to build his offense, smartly understanding that the NFL is still an offense-first league during the regular season. Jenkins and James give the 49ers two more threats, and Jenkins is insurance against a Moss implosion.
